METAL ROOFING.

Application and May 16,1906. Serial No. 317,199.

. act description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it apertains to make and use the same, reference eing had to the accompanying drawings, and to the figures of reference marked thereon, which forma part of this specification.

My invention relates to improvements in metal roofing, and relates more especially to roofing with which muslin, canvas, or other fibrous material is employed, the same being connected with the metal sheets by. the use of adhesive and reservative substance havin the nature 0 paint.

my improved roofing I employ either corrugated, beaded, or flat sheets of material, as may be desired. In manufacturing this roofing I apply the adhesive aint substance to the surface of the metal, w ich is to be underneath when in use. I then apply, the fibrous material to this painted surface, the aint causing the fibrous material to adhere. also allow the fibrous material to project beyond'the metal sheet on one side and one end, so that when these sheets are a plied to a roof the marginal portions shal overlap the adjacent metal sections and lie on top of the same. In the use of these prepared metal sheets their metal portions are a so made to overlap, preferably in sucha manner that the fibrous material marginal portions are on the outside. In this way perfectly tight joints are formed. When the prepared sheets are placed upon the roof, the marginal canvas portions, or those projectingbeyond the metal,

should be saturated with paint by applying it to one or both sides, as may be necessary or desirable. I

The invention will possibly be better understood by reference to the accompanymg drawings, in which I Figure 1 shows a sheet of' metal constructed in accordance with my invention, the metal portion being corrugated. Fig. 2 is a section taken through the same on the line 2 2, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 1s a section taken thron h two of the repared sheets ap lied to t e roof, one of t e sheets, however, eing shown without the fibrous margin, because it is the initial section. Fig. 4 shows a number of sheets, on a smaller scale, as they would appear when in use. In this case the parts shaded with the intersecting diagonal lines indicate the marginal canvas portions. Fig. 5 is a cross section taken on the line 5 .5, Fig. 4. Fig. 6 is a perspective view of a piece of prepared material in which the metal part is beadedor .GOIIIPOSOCl of a different pattern of corrugation than in Figs. 1 and The same reference characters indicate the same arts in all the views.

Let the numeral 5 desi nate the corrugated metal sheet to Whose un or surface is applied muslin or other fibrous material 6, which protrudes at one side, as shown at 6, and at one end, as shown at 6. In Fig. 4 the metal parts of the sections or sheets are flat and are desi nated 5, while the marginal canvas or muslin port-ions are designated 6 and 6, the same as in Figs. 1 and 3. Referring to Fig. 6, the metal part of the section or sheet is designated 5 and the canvas or muslin portion 5". In this case the fibrous material is doubled, as shown at 5" and forced into the ribs 5 of the metal portion on the under side, as shown in Fig. 6. I

There are many different patterns of the metal sheet that may be employed. The main feature of the invcnt1on, howcver,does not relate to the special pattern, but consists in the fact that the muslin is ap lied to the under side of the metal sheet an allowed to protrude or project therefrom in order to overlap the metal and form an exceedingly tight joint. Moreover, by placing the fibrous material on the under side, the roof is protected from the gases which may arise front the inside of the building, as is often the case during the carrying out of the processes for the treating of ores. Some ofthese gases are very in urious to roofs com osed of ordinary material. Hence it is usua ly more desirable on bulldlngs where metal roots are employed to have the inside of the metal sheet protected rather than the outside, since the influences from within are more destructive than those from without.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is V 1. As an improved article of manufacture, roofing material consisting of sheet metal and fibrous material applied to the metal by the use of an adhesive reservative substance,

the fibrous material eing allowed to project beyond the edges of the metal.

Ice

. made up of a body portion vof' sheet meta and a roofing-plate composed of sheet metal and fibrous material a plied to the under side thereof and allowed to project from one side and one eng.

3. A roo composed of sheets of m terial a lining of fibrous material which protrudes from two edges, the said sheet-s being applied to the roof ln'such a manner that the protruding fibrous or marginal portions of the sheets are located on the outside.

4. A roofing-plate composed of sheet metal and fibrous material applied to the inner surface thereof by the use of a suitableadhesive preservative substance, the fibrous material protruding from the sheet-metal portion, sub- 'stantially as described. 7

5. A roofing-plate composed of corrugated sheet metal, and fibrous material applied to the inner surface thereof and rojec'tmg'into the corrugations thereof, the lbrous material protruding from the sheet-metal portion,-substantlally as described. a v In testimony whereof I affix my signatur 1n presence of two witnesses.
